    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    No. That's not how it works. Other mods bind to it via the API mechanism EBXL has. The difference here is that someone went and did it for the mod authors rather than waiting for them to find time to do it for BoP. So they could focus on their mods and not EBXL support. It'd be nice if BoP had...

    Music to Mine By

    Holy Grail's newest album, "Ride the Void." Music for all occasions. Enjoy.

    Minefactory Reloaded and Soul Shards

    Now if only Arsbro wasn't such a damn pill about modpack inclusion. People who say, "I won't no matter what" piss me off.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    Are. You. Listeing. To. What. I. Am. Saying? If you're in 1.4.7, install this (linked) mod and you get everything you just said. I literally said something and you responded to it by asserting the same thing I just debunked. It all works, mang. And my last tests had saplings working in the SC2...

    Minefactory Reloaded and Soul Shards

    Good news! Fixed in 1.5.1! Good news! This happens a lot less now!

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    She does not need to open source it to bring more members on the team. She does not need to lose or yield distribution rights if she made the source code public. She has already made human readable source code public by virtue of how she distributes her jars and how java compiles things. So it...

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    Do keep in mind that should could open the mod dev team up and ask for help. It's not like somehow she's required not to. Her decisions, which she has every right to make, lead to this outcome and slow release schedule. She could even farm out bugfixes and simple porting and texture recutting to...

    Minefactory Reloaded and Soul Shards

    Yeah but what, specifically, about it bothers you? Because from my perspective it seems to be a really delightful mod. It has a personal progression system and magic and a pretty cool (and downright novel, which is rare these days) power system. It has some very cool open endgame mechanics, some...

    Eloraam has not disappeared. (random half related topics)

    I've heard it's trivial to manufacture non-jewelry-quality purple rubes, but the clearer reds are much more difficult to synthesize because of a bunch of factors I don't really understand. Is this incorrect? I've never seen an example of one, and I did look around quite a bit. My wife has a bit...

    All this, by the way, is why truly wealthy people wear rubies as jewelry. They're insanely hard to make and only occur in a few places in the world. Diamonds: not so much.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    But they're like.. literally cluttered with flowers, bushes, brush, trees, etc? Mystic Forest has an amazing sum of flowers and trees and is self-illuminating in an eerie way at night? I think the other big thing that I like about BoP is that it gives biomes a purpose. Like, there is a reason...

    Applied Energistics priority

    No, but since it spawns at all heights it is hard to mine for. As a place for a player to go and mine, we mean. Automatic tools (like centrifuging lava) are great and all, but it's nice to have new, fresh things to go check out personally as part of your adventures. It's also neat to have a...

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    I still am trying to get the appeal of them. BoP has great versions of all of those? Am I missing something? The ironwood stuff is cute, to be sure. Highlands seems like an even less compatible, less interesting version of BoP, which is itself less compatible than EBXL. Although I might add...

    Ladders!

    Why can't I stop laughing at the model in those product shots?

    I have a confession. I hate the electrolyzer mechanic. Hate it.

    Applied Energistics priority

    Which, by the way, makes the nether wayyyy more valuable as a place to go mine. In fact, if you add in Nether Ores (another of our esteemed Power Crystals mods) the Nether becomes one of the most dangerous/important places to mine that you can name. It's sorta amazing to have a nether that is...

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    There was obviously a falling out there. It's too bad.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    I don't really get the appeal of Highlands. It seems... very vanilla? Underground biomes seems about 10x more exciting as an accompaniment to BoP or ExtraBiomesXL

    My Resonant Rise Let's Play (Resonant Rise Modpack)

    I got so lucky finding that manganese ore. It has a fairly low spawn rate because it is a way to just magically make steel at a 1i1m:2s ratio. That's why I turned its spawn way down.

    ExtraBiomesXL vs. Biomes O Plenty vs. ? (for 1.6x+)

    I can confirm that. BoP generally doesn't have epically large oceans. I've only found one that's 1k long. I like that more than ages of featureless water.
